Keep Your Ten Commandments To Yourself

Yesterday, Louisiana Governor Jeff Landry signed a law requiring every single public school classroom in the state of Louisiana to display a large poster of the Protestant version of the Christian Ten Commandments. The Catholic Ten Commandments won’t be allowed, and neither will a display of the over 600 Jewish Commandments. Louisiana has specifically stepped into the religious arguments between different branches of Christianity and required public schools to support Protestant theology in particular.

The results are predictably absurd. What’s even more ridiculous is that with corrupt justices like Samuel Alito on the Supreme Court, Americans cannot trust the US Supreme Court to issue a fair ruling in accord with the First Amendment of the Constitution, to stop this unconstitutional Christian Nationalist law from taking place.

This episode includes an original country music song, called Keep Your Commandments To Yourself.

The lyrics:

The Ten Commandments are not American. Keep your Commandments to yourself. The Ten Commandments are thousands of years old. Keep your Commandments to yourself.

I don't want your creepy Christian preachers bothering my children. I don't want your pushy Christian preachers running through our schools. Keep your Commandments in your pants, Reverend. A school is not a church. Keep your Commandments to yourself.

The 10 Commandments have nothing to do with our laws. Keep your Commandments to yourself. The 10 Commandments are ancient and irrelevant. Keep your Commandments to yourself.

I don't want your creepy Christian preachers bothering my children. I don't want your pushy Christian preachers running through our schools. Keep your Commandments in your pants, Reverend.

I do not send my kids to school to learn some superstitious imaginary history about spirits from the skies and laws against artistic freedom. What the heck Louisiana? The more you push your old religion at us the more we walk away. The more you push Christian nonsense at us the more we walk away.

Don't you get it? A school is not a church.

I don't want your creepy Christian preachers bothering my children.

What the heck is wrong with Louisiana?

Keep your Commandments in your pants, Reverend.
